[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3837483, member: 43724"] While I disagree with seatbelt laws for those over 18, I will always wear mine (even got my wife into the habit after she called my bluff and we sat in a parked car for 20 minutes. I refuse to drive until everyone is wearing one). I've been in two significant/major crashes. The second was a head on while both parties were doing 25 (in a school zone). Everyone in my car was wearing the seatbelt. The collision was hard enough, even at those speeds, that my car (81 Plymouth Horizon) warped around the other car. The back doors were shoved forward over the front doors, making them not open. The radiator was embedded into the engine, the engine was pushed back 1 foot and was bent, both front 1/4 panels crumbled, hood an accordion, windshield smashed. I hit the brake and clutch so hard I snapped the clutch cable and blew the seals on master cylinder. The only thing left that was any good was the tires (had less than 2k on em too). I walked away with minor abrasions where the seatbelt was. This is another reason I don't appendix carry. I carry at the 3/3:30 position. On long trips I put my pistol in a sticky holster and shove it between the seat and center console. When I get my own vehicle I will make a mounted holster, wife won't let me in her car lol. [/QUOTE]
